You&#8217;ve got to build up memory structures that will bias their behaviour into the future, and that&#8217;s a difficult and long-term job, because it involves training people&#8217;s responses in such a way that you not only influence behaviour now, but you also influence behaviour next week, next month, and into the future.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While it\u2019s true that the balance can tip too far in either direction, putting too much weight against brand-building can be rectified almost immediately with sales activations. Putting too little weight against brand-building, however, has such a devastating impact on the brand (and sales) that it can take years to correct.  Cautionary tales from brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingweek.com\/adidas-marketing-effectiveness\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Adidas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www-cnbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org\/c\/s\/www.cnbc.com\/amp\/2019\/11\/22\/old-navy-was-neglecting-brand-marketing-gap-cfo-admits.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Old Navy<\/a> show this in action: Both companies admitted that they invested too heavily in digital, short-term tactics, to their detriment, and are now moving back to brand-building campaigns on traditional media like TV.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/Slide2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"Why short-termism is so destructive\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/Slide2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/Slide2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/Slide2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/Slide2-1093x615.png 1093w, https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/Slide2-311x175.png 311w, https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/Slide2.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Brand-building, the bonus round<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to driving long-term brand preference and sales growth, brand-building activities are also very effective in the short term: A strong brand will reduce price sensitivity, increasing margins; it can also have a substantial impact on the effectiveness of any short-term promotional campaigns. Binet says that according to their research, \u201cif you do strong brand-building, short-term metrics will go up for your activation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our goal at think<strong>tv<\/strong> is to help marketers get the most out of their media dollars by getting the most out of television. To that end, we stand with Binet and Field in encouraging marketers not to short-change their brands by putting too much emphasis and budget on short-term activation tactics. Instead, they should put appropriate weight behind the brand to ensure long term growth and profits. As Binet and Field make clear, \u201cpenetration is always the main driver for the growth of all brands and \u2018mass marketing\u2019 \u2013 broad reach \u2013 is still key to growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s where TV comes in. While television advertising can be highly effective for activation \u2013 the medium\u2019s ability to share promotional offers widely and quickly remains unsurpassed \u2013 it\u2019s especially strong as a brand-building tool. Nothing beats a 30-second, sound-on, emotional video message on a platform with such a broad and engaged audience. Except, maybe, a 60-second one.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*For more on the balance of brand-building and activation check out Binet and Field\u2019s publications <a href=\"https:\/\/ipa.co.uk\/knowledge\/publications-reports\/effectiveness-in-context\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Effectiveness in Context<\/a> (Oct 2018), <a href=\"https:\/\/ipa.co.uk\/knowledge\/publications-reports\/media-in-focus-marketing-effectiveness-in-the-digital-era\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Media in Focus<\/a> (2017) and <a href=\"https:\/\/ipa.co.uk\/knowledge\/publications-reports\/the-long-and-the-short-of-it-balancing-short-and-long-term-marketing-strategies\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">The Long and the Short of it<\/a> (2013), or watch three excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/thinktv.ca\/research\/effectiveness-in-context\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Field presentations<\/a> on the <a href=\"https:\/\/thinktv.ca\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">think<strong>tv<\/strong> website<\/a>.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/acaweb.ca\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/01\/les-binet-quote-EN.png\" alt=\"It\\'s interesting to note that the tech firms seem to be leading the charge towards brand-building.
